Sasq,
Yes, I have the latest version of the MB bios. Removing components doesn't seem to make any difference - sound card, modem, DVD/CD-RW drive... still get the same error. Doesn't seem like a power supply issue, since I can boot into safe mode, and I have been running with the same number of devices since last summer. I'd think a power supply issue wouldn't produce the same error at the exact same spot every single time...
az,
No, I haven't tried reinstalling the OS. That's a last resort, and not only because I no longer have the original Win98 disk. I am thinking of upgrading to XP, but am scared about losing some of the software that I use. (not talking games here)
Of course, I also am concerned about my hardware not liking XP, maybe I'll poke around MS and see if they have a list of compatible hardware....
